Futurama in the UK - General Discussion - Season 7B airs 2nd November!

[Reply #80 on:]

Well I kinda do see how they're calling it S7

[Reply #81 on:]

Production codes are the foundations of the Futurama Bible, calling is Season 7 is a sin ...

[Reply #82 on:]

True, the Broadcast order makes it Season 7 in the US... Or is that the Production order? Dammit!

[Reply #83 on:]

The SkyGuide is also calling it S7. It's kinda odd, seeing as they never acknowledged a season 6 (or even a season 5, from what I can recall).

Hm, oh well, as long as we get the DVDs and Blu-Rays, I couldn't care less.

[Reply #85 on:]

Heh, just saw an advert advertising it for this Friday. They were using older footage though

WOOT! I'll have to keep an eye on Sky One for it... Oh wait, I'm on holiday... I come back on Friday, the day it's on... Never mind...

It would be nice to see them on the store shelves over here, as long as HMV don't go bust before it gets released ...

You think HMV is the only video and DVD store in existence?

Amazon will almost certainly be cheaper than HMV.

[Reply #90 on:]

What I mean is when I walk into a physical shop in real life it would be nice to see them on the shelves. There aren't many physical shops selling such things left, the main one is HMV and it may be gone by then...

[Reply #91 on:]

Eh, I couldn't care less, I get everything online.. Have done for as long as I can remember.

[Reply #92 on:]

I have the American DVD for the first half of Season 6 and I buy most things online too, but when I'm out and about I like to see clool stuff on the shelves...

Why? If you have the American DVD why should you want to see the UK version? And I hope they aren't on the shelves, I hope the shelves are empty because they've sold out so quickly.

Tesco. Asda. Sainsburys. They all sell DVDs. The high street chains were overpriced and bloated monstrosities with no real advantage over their online replacements. I for one do not mourn their passing.

I'm old skool, DannyJC13. I liked the 00's when I could buy everything cheaper online, but still enjoy browsing real life shops thanks to the mugs still paying the high street prices. Now such luxuries are fading fast, they’ve cottoned on...

Yes TNUK, I guess there's always supermarkets, but they only tend to stock things when they're new releases. I like seeing the entire series of something all together on shelves. I must be weird...

What wrong with Sky1 Bloody Hell

[Reply #97 on:]

Well I was watching the simpsons while on the internet and I saw the Season 6 promo, so I put on my webcam and filmed it.

The qualitys bad but you get the basics of the trailer

[Reply #98 on:]

That is a crap trailer. Thanks for uploading it though 

[Reply #99 on:]

It would have been beter if they used new clips I mean they have at least 6 and a half hours of new footage and they can't even be botherd to use a single second of that :-/

Wow, not even a watermark. Just clean, beautiful HD animation. *whams record button*

Yup, I noticed that too, so pleased. Now it's just the wait for the Blu-Ray...

[Reply #103 on:]

Sky have been really good latly having no DOG

In "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela" I noticed that the bumper at the end of part one said "Futurama" with "Rebirth" underneath

They've always been sloppy with stuff like that...

HOLY S**T! (Censored by V-GINY) THEY'RE AIRING ALL 26 EPISODES! NO CUT IN THE MIDDLE! WOOOOOO!

Second! WOOOOOT. I really didn't think they'd do 6B, but I think it finishes around the same time 6A will here.

Well Sky1 would finish off around October so it does look likely it will be finished at the same time.

Totally called it. Now if this translates to a full production season DVD set, I will be extremely happy.

Today's been too good to me to get that news now though, so I'll have to wait.

No, they're airing 2 eps a week, so 6A would finish on 2nd September.

I'm hoping for the same thing, it would make sense. My only concern is which cover art would they use ...

The UK version of ITWGY had a completely different cover...

UK:



US:

[Reply #112 on:]

That is a fair point, so you're suggesting the UK may not have either cover, but an entirely new one. If that's the case then I hope the quality is at least on a par with the US counterparts. The US ITWGY cover was far superior IMO. Also, on a related note the US editions of all the movies contained additional artwork inside the cases which the UK versions omitted. We just got a plain white inside, something which has always irked me considerably because the US versions contained some of the best Futurama artwork to date, period...

[Reply #113 on:]

It'll probably have a Fry cover.

[Reply #114 on:]

Maybe it'll be volume 5 and 6's artwork layered over the top of eachother with horrific results.

Or one on the front and one on the back.


I'd like for something new and for it to be more in line with the seasons 1-4 and movie covers, but to be honest, I'll be happy with anything so long as the episodes are on it.

[Reply #115 on:]

Damnit! I missed it! Do they show repeats at any other time of the week?

Both eps on again tonight, same time, 8 'till 9.

[Reply #117 on:]

And Sky 2 Tommorow 8-9pm and monday 8-9pm so you have 3 more chances

[Reply #118 on:]

Woot, Attack of the Killer App and Proposition Infinity next!

[Reply #119 on:]

Attack of the Killer App is a fantastic episode but is there going to be a second part to it?? :-/
